Summary: Yemeni pro-government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, took control of another district in southern Abyan province Monday after a battle with Houthi rebels that killed dozens, driving out the final pocket of resistance in the province, security and military officials said.

Forces loyal to Libya's ruling National Transitional Council are now moving more tanks into the centre of Sirte to try to crush the last pocket of resistance by loyalists of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi in his home town.

One can read almost all of The Shape of a Pocket without realizing that one is part of a pocket of resistance, except perhaps against the far less e ngaging styles of criticism that dominate the field.
